Platanus ×hispanica 'Huissen' Platanus ×hispanica 'Huissen'

A tree selected at the same time as P. x hispanica ‘Malburg’, from an old avenue in Huissen, the Netherlands. Distinguishable from the species by relatively narrow, oval crown shape that is slightly narrower than ‘Malburg’. The scaling bark, characteristic to plane trees is also found in ‘Huissen’. The broad palmately lobed leaf has 3 to 5 pointed, serrated lobes and has soft hair on the underside. In summer it is yellow-green turning brownish yellow in autumn. Fallen leaves do not rot easily. The spherical florescence hangs on long stalks on which the spiky fruits later appear. These remain on the tree until well into winter. Plane trees tolerate paving very well but the shallow roots may push paving upwards. Takes pruning very well, even in old wood. Saplings require a tree stake for support and young branches break easily.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
